correct. with an ipad 2 or iphone 4s (due to the a5 processor) you can use airplay mirroring to "project" everything you do on your idevice to ur ATV2

Shows that apple sees ATV2 only as a "hobby"

And yes, it's iPad 2 and iPhone 4s only. It requires the a5 processor

Geeze I'm confused - are you saying that mirroring will not work on the ATV2 yet (and probably not for some time) until it itself has a new operating system? The Apple site itself has the following text - is this just missleading then?

[/i]Wow your audience in the board room, classroom, or living room. AirPlay now supports video mirroring. Which means you can wirelessly — and securely — stream whatever’s on your iPad 2 or iPhone 4S to your HDTV via Apple TV. Everyone in the room sees exactly what’s on your iPad or iPhone display up on the big screen — even when you rotate your device from portrait to landscape or zoom in and out.[/i]

Edit: I also searched before and there was a Youtube clip of mirroring using the ATV2 and a beta of ios5 on the ipad2. If it doesn't work I'll be so pissed! (I'm at work now so can't check, assuming that ios5 is available now in the UK that is.)
